I wish there were a comic book reading program for Windows as slick as Comic Book Lover which, alas, is strictly OS X.
For Windows users, the choices boil down to Comical, CDDisplay, or PyComicsViewer (which requires Python to be installed).
For the most part, I use CDDIsplay which is great for what it does, but once you’ve got 20,000-30,000 comics on your hard drive, organizing and managing them becomes a major issue.
Comic Book Lover solves that problem by creating an iTunes-like interface for tracking comic books and attaching metadata to help organize them,
Once you’ve got the metadata about the comics entered, then Comic Book Lover lets you create lists and smart lists of different comic books. Show me all of my Avenger’s comics in which Vision appears. Or compile lists, of say, all Identity Crisis-related books.
Somebody please create something halfway as usable as this for Windows.
You suck. You pick thee crappiest computer out there to date.
I hope to let all know that Apple and Jobbs the stealer of program language to Windows.
Did I forget. Windows sued Apple for copy right of their software.
Nice go with Apple the crapple.
Since that is used by technically IDIOTS( I mean people with a handicap sign)
Did you know that Apple is surviving because they sell their crap box computer to schools, art people. Because it is cheap. Now to you all the cheap = crap.
NO do my ears decive me that a company that Apple dose not have any grounds with and that is ATI, Nvida
In the words of Bart Simpson,”Eat My shorts Apple!”
Haha, I love entertaining trolls from People that babble whatever they think is right, becoming so random and obscure in the process that it has nothing to do with the original Post. This is about finding a decent comic book program, which Windows based OS lacks. Please post helpful responses otherwise don’t bother. I digress..
I use RadicalCodex. It is an eBook and digital Comic Book reader and organizer with support for CBR, CBZ, ZIP and RAR. It Includes automatic bookmarking too which is nice. I’ts by far not the best, but you can find it on downloads.com and it has some organization. Which is important as the original poster pointed out.
Cheers.
Whoa, this post was from 2006?
Well, there is this software that does what ‘Comic book lover’ does, and works with both Mac OS and Windows.

It also has an iPhone/iPad application to sync comics into your gadgets.
